Vision
Moving Needles, a 5-year cooperative agreement between AMDA and the CDC, will make routine adult immunization a standard of care for post-acute and long-term care residents and an expectation for staff. Working with pilot sites from nursing homes, assisted living, and home and community based services, we will test strategies using a quality improvement intervention to improve immunization rates.

Standards for Adult Immunization Process
The Standards were created by the National Vaccine Advisory Committee, a part of HHS, to call on all healthcare professionals – whether they provide vaccinations or not – to take steps to ensure that their adult patients are fully immunized.
